WARNING
■Limitations of the pre-crash safety system
● The driver is solely responsible for safe driving. Always drive safely, taking
care to observe your surroundings.
Do not use the pre-crash safety system instead of normal braking opera-
tions under any circumstances. This system will not prevent collisions or
lessen collision damage or injury in every situation. Do not overly rely on
this system. Failure to do so may lead to an accident, resulting in death or
serious injury.
● Although this system is designed to help avoid and reduce the impact of a
collision, its effectiveness may change according to various conditions,
therefore the system may not always be able to achieve the same level of
performance.
Read the following conditions carefully. Do not overly rely on this system
and always drive carefully.
• Conditions under which the system may operate even if there is no pos-
sibility of a collision: P. 301
• Conditions under which the system may not operate properly: P. 3 0 5
● Do not attempt to test the operation of the pre-crash safety system your-
self, as the system may not operate properly, possibly leading to an acci-
dent.
■ Pre-crash braking
● The pre-crash braking function may not operate if certain operations are
performed by the driver. If the accelerator pedal is being depressed
strongly or the steering wheel is bei ng turned, the system may determine
that the driver is taking evasive action and possibly prevent the pre-crash
braking function from operating.
● In some situations, while the pre-crash braking function is operating, oper-
ation of the function may be canceled if the accelerator pedal is depressed
strongly or the steering wheel is turned and the system determines that
the driver is taking evasive action.
● A large amount of braking force is applied while the pre-crash braking
function is operating. Additionally, as the operation of the pre-crash brak-
ing function will be canceled after the vehicle has been stopped for
approximately 2 seconds if it is stopped by the operation of the pre-crash
braking function, the driver should depress the brake pedal as necessary.
● If the brake pedal is being depressed, the system may determine that the
driver is taking evasive action and possibly delay the operation timing of
the pre-crash braking function.

WARNING
■Pre-crash braking
● While driving, such as when driving through a railway crossing, the system
may determine that the possibility of a collision with an object, such as rail-
way crossing barrier, is high and operate the pre-crash braking function.
To move the vehicle in an emergency, such as if the system operates in a
railway crossing, perform the following operations and then take the nec-
essary measures to ensure your safety.
• If the vehicle has been stopped, depress the accelerator pedal.
•If the vehicle is decelerating, fully depress the accelerator pedal.
( P. 300)
• Disable the pre-crash safety system. ( P. 297)
■ When to disable the pre-crash safety system
In the following situations, disable the system, as it may not operate prop-
erly, possibly leading to an accident resulting in death or serious injury:
● When the vehicle is being towed
● When your vehicle is towing another vehicle
● When transporting the vehicle via truck, boat, train or similar means of
transportation
● When the vehicle is raised on a lift with the engine running and the tires
are allowed to rotate freely
● When inspecting the vehicle using a drum tester such as a chassis dyna-
mometer or speedometer tester, or when using an on vehicle wheel bal-
ancer
● If the vehicle cannot be driven in a stable manner, such as when the vehi-
cle has been in an accident or is malfunctioning
● When the vehicle is driven in a sporty manner or off-road
● When the condition of the tires is poor and they do not perform well
( P. 503)
● When tires of a size other than specified are installed
● When tire chains are installed
● When a compact spare tire or an emergency tire puncture repair kit is used

■Operational conditions
The pre-crash safety system is enabled and determines that the possibility of
a frontal collision with a vehicle is high.
Each function is operational at the following speeds:
● Pre-crash warning:
• Vehicle speed is approximately 15 to 140 km/h (10 to 85 mph).
• The relative speed between your vehicle and a preceding vehicle is
approximately 15 km/h (10 mph) or more.
● Pre-crash brake assist:
• Vehicle speed is approximately 30 to 80 km/h (20 to 50 mph).
• The relative speed between your vehicle and a preceding vehicle is
approximately 30 km/h (20 mph) or more.
● Pre-crash braking:
• Vehicle speed is approximately 10 to 80 km/h (7 to 50 mph).
• The relative speed between your vehicle and a preceding vehicle is
approximately 10 km/h (7 mph) or more.
The system may not operate in the following situations:
● If a battery terminal has been disconnected and reconnected and then the
vehicle has not been driven for a certain amount of time
● If the shift lever is in R
● If VSC is disabled (only the pre-crash warning function will be operational)
■ Cancelation of the pre-crash braking
● If either of the following occur while the pre-crash braking function is operat-
ing, it will be canceled:
• The accelerator pedal is depressed strongly.
• The steering wheel is turned sharply or abruptly.
● If the vehicle is stopped by the operation of the pre-crash braking function,
the operation of the pre-crash braki ng function will be canceled after the
vehicle has been stopped for approximately 2 seconds.

■ If the LDA indicator comes on in yellow (vehicles with monochrome dis-
play)
It may indicate a malfunction in the system. Contact any authorized Toyota
retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
■ Warning messages for the LDA system (vehicles with color display)
Warning messages are used to indicate a system malfunction or to inform the
driver of the need for caution while driving.
■ Customization
P. 676
WARNING
■Before using the LDA system
Do not rely solely on the LDA system. The LDA system does not drive the
vehicle automatically, nor does it reduce the amount of care you need to
take. As such, the driver must always assume full responsibility for under-
standing his/her surroundings, for operati ng the steering wheel to correct
the driving line, and for driving safely.
Inappropriate or negligent driving could lead to an accident.
■ To avoid operating the LDA by mistake
Switch the LDA system off using the LDA switch when not in use.
NOTICE
■ To prevent damage to or incorrect operation of the LDA system
● Do not modify the headlights or attach stickers to the surface of the lights.
● Do not modify the suspension. If your suspension needs repairs, contact
any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer.
● Do not install or place anything on the hood or the grille. Also, do not install
a grille guard (bull bars, kangaroo bar, etc.).
● If your windshield needs repairs, contact any authorized Toyota retailer or
Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
